Madeira Margs.
The Madeira range of Marguerites is quite special - lovely colour shades and long flowering. This is 'Crested Primrose' and is quite exquisite with it mass of cheerful sunflower posies.

The New Forest in spring
GardenLands is on the edge of the New Forest. You can spend time getting your bedding plants, have a snack in the Coffee shop then just a few minutes later be surrounded by the wonderful spring green. The first foals are just being born now.
Colourful Maples
The Japanese maples have just flushed into leaf and are at their best - it's a great time to choose one. Or just come to enjoy their loveliness.
Meet your Nemesia
This has to be the year of the Nemesia - so many new varieties and the plants are fat and full of bud due to the warmth and sunshine. Look for them in the Patio plant section and in larger pots sizes with the tender perennials.
A feast of herbs!
So many different kinds just now and they're so full of vigor. You'll never find a better selection, buy them early so they can get a lot of growing done.
Coleus - named varieties
Once a year about this time we get these wonderful named varieties of Coleus - now called Solenostemon, just to confuse everyone. Perfect in bedding borders, patio pots or, for a real show in a conservatory.
